Fox Chapel’s Gregor Meyer connects on his tee shot on Hole 18 during the PIAA West Region Golf Championships Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, at Tom’s Run Golf Course in Blairsville.

Fox Chapel graduate and former WPIAL champion Gregor Meyer shot 3-under-par 67 Monday on his home course to earn medalist honors at an 18-hole Pennsylvania Amateur qualifying tournament.

Meyer, a member at host Hannastown Golf Club and a rising sophomore at High Point, made three birdies and one bogey to finish two shots ahead of Jimmy Meyers, another former WPIAL champ who played at Central Catholic.

Meyer and Meyers, an incoming sophomore at Penn State who calls Oakmont Country Club his home course, were the only players in the 38-player field to finish under par.

Meyers also carded four birdies.

Four others also qualified for the 107th state amateur, set for July 27-29 at Lookaway Golf Club in Buckingham: Kevin Fajt, who also plays out of Hannastown, Adam Lauer of Fox Chapel Golf Club, Andrew Friend of Oakmont Country Club, and Clay Spangler of Latrobe Country Club.

Fajt signed for a 70, Lauer and Friend tied at 71 and Spangler shot 72.
